Understanding PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management Table Setup

To implement PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, you must first design and establish your system's business structure. Determine the best way to map your new system to your organization's business structures, practices, and procedures.

PeopleSoft applications rely on tables to store business transactions and the structure and processing rules that drive your system. Start by setting up the basic framework by using the pages in PeopleTools:

  • The PeopleSoft system builds these pages over core tables, which are delivered and shared among many PeopleSoft applications.

    Set up these tables by using online pages.

  • If you use other PeopleSoft applications, such as those in PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (PeopleSoft HCM) or PeopleSoft Financials, the system administrator may have defined some of the framework already.

    Work closely with administrators from these areas as you prepare to populate these tables.

  • Because of the relational design of PeopleSoft applications, the order in which you make important decisions about using the application is not always the order in which you use the online pages to set up the database tables.

    Certain tables work as a group when you make processing or implementation decisions; therefore, you must establish data in some tables before others.
